Dear Mom,

You flood my thoughts today. I keep hearing your voice during our phone conversations, which always ended with my saying, "I love you, Mom!" and you would reply, "I love you, too, sweetheart." That was always such a comforting exchange. I'm so happy you can finally be with Dad again. Your love for each other was always a wonderful example for the entire family. Thank you for that lasting gift.
Love,
Sue

We will miss you forever Grandma. I could never even begin to tell you how much you mean to us all and how much we love you. I must have done something right for God to give me you as my Grandma. Please tell Grandpa I say "hello" and that I love him and I hope there is a Cocos restaurant in Heaven for you both! I love you Grandma!
